Question

What is the best martial arts form that will help in street fighting and defense?

Answer 1

Krav maga is a good option, as it considers a no-quarter situation.

Answer 2

Wrestling- u dont get any better than this if u cant stand with some one take them down

Answer 3

The one you like, that you receive good instruction in, that you train realisticly, and train hard in.

A style does not do self defense, it is the person training the style that does.

Answer 4

I agree with Frank - Krav Maga if you can find a good school.  Krav Maga is a style of real situational street fighting.  These guys train in "kill or be killed" type scenarios - multiple opponents, armed opponents, assault from behind, etc.

It's really a blend of a lot of martial art concepts (grappling, striking, weapon training, military combat, etc.) but the techniques and scenarios are more "real life" type situations.



Read up on it - it was basically developed by the Israeli Army using lots of masters / combat specialists' input in order to keep Israeli soldiers alive in a hostile environment.  The whole thing is based on street fighting without getting killed.

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

I agree with katana its all about how you use the technique. Thats why a lot of martial arts get beat down on the street they dont know how to use it in a real fight. In my teen age years I often went looking for fights to hone my skills but ten years older and wiser that was dumb and I could of been killed. I recommend training like you are being attacked if you where ever attacked used that in your training before I learned martial arts I was still a decent fighter one of the worse beatings I took was when I was jumped by like 7 people I began train like I was being jumped the next time it happened I beasted those s****.s

Answer 6

Never confuse sport fighting with self defense. In today's world of anything goes and people are inclined to seriously cripple you or kill you don't rely on a sport fighting technique to save you. See my answer to Katana's question following this one.

Answer 7

Practically there is no spesified martial arts, If you want to protect in street fight then only 2 martial arts work, 1 Boxing , 2 Judo.

Boxing give a punch , and judo help u when u are being caught, you dont have to pratice a lot for these becuase there are some trick in judo that are very effect,

In street fight your body become very tight and swollen, appliying roung kick or bruce lee trick will gonna kick ur own ***. The only thing that work in street fight is ur hands, and ur finger,  which catch a person to slap him or just to make him down.  There is no refree in street fight nor any rules.

If you want to protect urself from street fight then make sure that ur enmies dont have any weapon.

Flying kick is also helpful when ur enmie is in ur target, and remember to apply flying kick on chest or stomach , and not on face.

If you like this answer then vote it. and give me ur id. i will tell u more about it.

Because i have caught in street fight twice, and both the time i force them to ran away.
